Just unzip it and get the *.apk to the phone. Then you can install it. The app is working great for me but will it work over WiFi? When it asks for your phone number, is that supposed to be your cell or Skype DID?
[Vibrant General] brie987:
I have a skype apk and it works, its a BETA but it still works you can chat and call, I kept the apk for awhile, there is another that you can only chat with this one you can make calls. I can send to you if your interested. :)
[Vibrant General] mveksler:
It is awesom BETA Skype. I through I was dreaming.

I was about to start hating Skype but now it is all changed.

All i wanted is to be able to use Skype while at home or work and chat with my family abrode skype-to-skype.

I have a question, it asks for the phone number when I login?!

Should I enter my cell number when I do that?

Like for example +1858 and mobile number?

What is this number for?

Is it for caller ID to be displayed if you call land line or mobile?

My second question is can you make land line or mobile calls from this version or just skype to skype?

When I installed it asked me if I wanted to all Call IN and that it would use my Skype Credit minutes for it?!

How does that work?
[Vibrant General] basataom:
O.o could you send me a beta skype thingy? Would really to call my family overseas

(does it work over wifi? or minutes)
[Vibrant General] brie987:
Its your phone number that skype people can call you at but you will have to pay for these calls. Skype works for free only between registered skype callers so the first think you need to do is register online at there website, during this time you will need to create a "name", its like a member name this is how skype people call other skype people not with an actual phone number although you can buy a phone number so you can call non members and non members can call you through skype. I will send you an email with a link to down load the apk. You do need to enter a phone number when logging on I just put my real mobile number, actually its my GV number. But when first running the apk you will be asked who you want to call you, choose "only skype members", unless you buy a number but like I said you will be asked to fill in a phone number.
[Vibrant General] mveksler:
I just tried the app and unfortunately it totally sucks ;-(

It is trying to imitate Google Voice with the call back number.

Basically it uses your voice service and does not work on wifi or 3G to make calls even skype-to-skype totally lame. What is the point?!
[Vibrant General] basataom:
Thank you brie987

You are a gentleman, and a scholar :)
[Vibrant General] jblizzard888:
can you please send me one too?
[Vibrant General] MikeDo:
could u please send me a copy as well thank you in advance!!
[Vibrant General] brie987:
You can download from here http://www.filesavr.com/kv9Enbp1
[Vibrant General] moddin:
Anyone confrim if this works?
[Vibrant General] mveksler:
Yes the skype lite works but not over wifi or 3g connection.

it uses skype access number to call you back if you making calls with this version.

Regardless if it is skype to skype or regular phone line.

Really pointless to use, when google voice does the job much better and cheaper too for your long distance calls.
[Vibrant General] hotadef:
i use nimbuzz it seem to work good if you have a good connection try it out its in the market
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
I can confirm this works over 3G / Wifi. But, it only allows chat. and when you try to do skype to skype it will do a skype out. and if someone calls you it does a skype in.
[Vibrant General] Trets:
Really?? I tried Nimbuzz and I couldn't get heard by the person on the other line. I could hear him just fine. Seems something is weird with the microphone settings...? Actually, I found similar cases described on the web.

Did it work for you 'right out the box' or did you need to do some more tweaks?

[Vibrant General] amorek13:
it works fine for chat but it seems to eat my battery
[Vibrant General] xtv89x:
Yea, I'm having the same issue. I could hear them, but they can't hear me. Anyone have a solution for this Nimbuzz problem?
[Vibrant General] a302svt:
Re: skype

I just installed iSkoot for Skype from android market under communication / free. It dialed a 408 area code to complete the call. Using 3G at the time the sound was good on both ends.
[Vibrant General] stray42:
You rock sir. Thank you for this. I was looking to be able to use the group chat function of Skype and this works perfectly. I think it actually works better than the iPhone Skype app. Thank you again!
[Vibrant General] brie987:
Has anyone gaged Nimbuzz toll on the battery?
[Vibrant General] jetstoya:
Interesting ! I couldn't find iskoot anywhere in the market. I'm in the U.S. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant General] StickYIckY35:
Ok so I was reading the earlier posts and it said that the verizon version of the app places calls through verizons thingy. Well thats for calls right? Would we be able to install it on our phone and just use the chat? Cuz thats pretty much I want and the beta isn't that good cuz it doesn't have status bar notifications.
[Vibrant General] grishatataru:
It works!

Confirmed on 3g network

Thanks!!!
[Vibrant General] tomasitoc:
It didn't work with my vibrant . I was able to sign into my skype account. But when I tried to call a number it gives an error" Calling is not available in your region" !

Any ideas how to fix this?
[Vibrant General] johngao10:
it works, but I can't call the phone number there....
[Vibrant General] johngao10:
Hi,

I try to call international from the USA it didn't works, I have an unlimited minute plan too. Can you tell me how to fix that?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] yvyv:
It should work 100% every time my friend I use it all the time from U.S to call Spain and other countries. It will dial a local number but it will work, make sure you put 1 your area code and your # in the log in area..

NOTE: Skype has CONFIRMED today that NOT everyone is ready to use their service after they "World Wide OUTAGE" yesterday "12-22-10"..

Good luck
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
skype doesn't have a free international calls right?
[Vibrant General] yvyv:
Nope, you need skypeout credits..
[Vibrant General] robertd0619:
I have a skype on vibrant that works on wifi and 3g. Use it to call my fiance in the philippines skype to skype. Quality is great. It doesn't dial a number when im on 3g. I can call local numbers too but u have to have skype credits. Chat works fine also. I'll post it in a sec.
[Vibrant General] robertd0619:
EDIT: here's the apk... SKYPE
[Vibrant General] copter105:
Thanks brother!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. Skype to Skype works perfectly on 3G and wifi. I am running Android 2.2 on my SGS.
[Vibrant General] rawfa:
I´ve downloaded Skype Beta (1.0.0.5) and installed it with no problem.

As soon as I launched the application it told me "Receiving calls will use your Skype Credit. Would you like to receive Skype calls?". I clicked on "yes" and then it asked me from whom would I like to receive calls from (everyone or skype contacts only) and I marked "skype contacts only". Then it prompted for my user/password AND my cellphone number (with the international code for Brazil). It did conect but it would not allow me to call my skype contacts, only chat with them. This doesn´t make sense as I´m not trying to call a landline of a cellphone number.

Did this happen to anyone?
[Vibrant General] jblizzard888:
I can only make calls while connected to wifi...perhaps thats your problem?
[Vibrant General] rawfa:
Unfortunately that is not my problem. I´ve tried 3G and wifi and I have the same issue :(

Feb 8, 2011 UPDATE on running Skype

I just down loaded Skype from the Market. I signed in with my existing id and was able to talk to another skype user on their PC. I don't ever use Skype to call someones phone. So I can't test that function. I didn't see a camera option, looks like voice and chat only. I use it to talk to my friend in China.

T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959UVKA7 Bionix-V by Team Whiskey (Froyo 2.2) kernel 2.6.32.9
[Vibrant General] pvspencer22:
Skype from the market is great for me on wifi not quite as good on 3g. Skype to skype is good to a mobile or landlines has been lower quality in my experience.
[Vibrant General] dvno:
this has been working great on my vibrant, thanks!
[Vibrant General] dylanear:
OK, who knows how to hack this to work over 3g in the US?? I've downloaded 3 older versions reported to work over 3g, but none work on my Vibrant over 3G. The current version from the market tells me I can only use WiFi to make calls in the US.

I could put my SIM back into my iPhone 3G or using the WiFi sharing on the Vibrant to share my 3G data to my iphone and use Skype there. It's unbelievable that they can remove features on Android version. If the carrier blocked it that would be one thing, but for Skype?! My 2 year love affair with Skype is waning FAST.
[Vibrant General] copter105:
Well tell us about your phone. Are you using Froyo? Custom rom or what?
[Vibrant General] kisel:
I am trying to launch it, but it tells me that I'm using it through unsupported browser...

I verified this one works with Asgard 2.3.4. It says that it should work with any GB rom

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lamatrast:
My battery % was showing 60% available. I removed the battery and sim in preparation of flashing but changed my mind when I powered back up it was showing 39%.

Has anyone else seen this issue, I'm thinking it might be the cause of the battery issues people have been reporting.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Welshy992:
I have had the same issue. Not sure how to fix yet though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
If you've rooted your 'phone deleting the batterystats.bin file when the SGS is fully charged is a possible solution.

To delete this file do the following:

adb shell

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Welshy992:
Ok I just did some research. Apparently this is done intentionally by samsung and it's not a bug. They just use a different chart for determining how much battery life is left. So from 100% to 71% the indicator will look like it's fully charged, as an example.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
Any opinions? I'm on KaosFroyo right now and it is amazing but what do you guys think?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Clearly this is all opinion:

CM6. Fastest I've used (noticeably when I play games) and it's really not missing any features... I think facebook sync is working now, gps, everything really except for the camera.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
It's weird I think all the camera apps don't work in Froyo. What about the overclock? All the 2.2 roms are at 710 by default right? Even if you dont have setcpu installed?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
At the moment they seem to all use a kernel with 710mhz default. The camera is related to the kernel and once the froyo kernel is out we'll have camera.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iloveandroid:
Try celebfroyo 1.4
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitepaint:
My personnel experience has been, KaosFroyo was awesome, but I had some MINOR issues such as launcher pros 3d app drawer lagging real bad, and game performance being somewhat awful. Am now on Cyanogen6 test build. 0 issues. Other than stock camera. Camera magic fixed that for me. :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Whitepaint, I had the same issues with games... Zenonia was literally impossible to play lol maybe 10 FPS tops, with CM6 I'm seeing serious improvements.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
thanks guys ill go try Cm6
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
i have tried that Rom and i didnt like it. it was way too slow and laggy for me
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefire808:
CelebFroyo 1.4 i have it over clocked to 806mhz and stable. Linpack 5.5 and quadrent 420. Been really stable aswell. NIKOLAI2.1 Froyo's kernal is 710mhz and yes you can use SetCPU. Mines only stable up to 806
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itarille:
All of them are excellent works of art ;-)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
Haha yeah but my phone will freeze after 768:(

But hey I'm using CM6 and it's amazing!

And yes they are!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Tried them all so far, like them all, but definitely have had the most luck with CELB 1.4. Was rocking Kaos for a bit and was pretty quick, but noticed it was slowing down a bit. Battery life was pretty good. Once I got CELB going though, I was just amazed at how quick everything is. Apps open well, smooth scrolling, and most surprising to me is that there is almost no lag when waking the phone while the profile is set 480/245 and when screen is awake it's 806/480 - both performance. Loving it so far, even though battery life doesn't seem quite as good. Small price to pay for the speed though in my opinion.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
Just curing do you use surface dithering and/or JIT? CM6 had Jit disabled my default for some reason.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzpatriot:
cyangen mod settings under performance ,, just incase u didnt know u can enable it
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
Yeah I enabled it, I was just curious if I should have since I've seen that JIT is a little unstable.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
I have surface dithering on and JIT on with 24m cache.

edit: And JIT is unstable only with certain apps and with Froyo roms it works a million times better. JIT was made for froyo and not 2.1.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitepaint:
I may not have understood what you were saying, but are you saying you have your setcpu to scale for performance all the time? If so that's probably why your battery life is suffering as performance forces the CPU to stay clocked at your highest speed. Yours being 806 awake and 480 asleep. Setting it to On demand will allow the CPU to clock down when its not in use.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Yes, performance means 100% of the time it is clocked as high as possible, put it on demand. Our kernels don't support anything else like "conservative."

Are the Froyo MODs using Sense? I really don't like the idea of giving it up. Everything is too boring without it (just my opinion, don't kill me for it!).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
No none have sense.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjflowerhorn:
instant death!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duffman3005:
Well, for me, I noticed a huge battery performance boost when I went to KaosFroyo (non sense). My batter would be at 100% before bed, and in the morning, it would be about 75-85. Compared to sense, which at that point would be about 55-65. That's for me though, may vary from phone to phone, and it could be the setcpu sleep profile too (192min528max).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
The Eris can barely run Froyo and all it's features to begin with. If we put sense on there it would surely crash. I know there's an incredible Froyo rom with sense but that works with their Snapdragon 1ghz blah blah blah..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Actually the Eris is running Froyo quite well =p we've seen a big performance increase. I'm surprised by it actually.

But if you want sense get launcherpro plus or beautiful widgets or both, between the two of them it's basically sense but using way less RAM/ battery.

We can only get sense when a phone that has sense gets 2.2.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loki154:
After having these AOSP 2.2 Roms I could never use Sense again and be happy.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixedlemon:
LauncherPro is in the process of adding the HTC Sense widgets to it. It's only got the people widget right now, but the rest should come pretty soon. Once they're all in there shouldnt be anything that sense can do that LuncherPro can't..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlaalu:
The only things I don't like about the 2.2 rom is that contacts don't pop up when you start dialing numbers, and no clock/weather/alarm/all in one widget. Other then that it's kick-ass!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
I use beautiful widgets so that isn't a problem. I like the old phone app from 2.1 sense more though by far but I can handle this.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duffman3005:
Exactly this, I use both and could never be happier
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
No more Updates for X2???

Anyone know when new update for X2 scheduled?
[XPERIA X2 General] thenocturnalnurse:
Not really, no one from SE announced yet...
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
So pity to x2 user. Damn... Can't really taste the true power of X2. I don't know what to do. I want to sell, but no one want to buy.

Oh, By The way, Is other Windows Mobile phone is better than X2? Or just the same?

Thanks
[XPERIA X2 General] eenll:
I understand HTC's HD2 phone, also a Windows mobile fon, is a lot better than the X2. You may check on it. Cheers. :)
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
Nice information. Thanks. oh... How do you think after using X2. Is it still any hope?
[XPERIA X2 General] yummy-fun:
my opinion on the x2 is that it is a WinMo device. if there is something you don't like about it, change it. already i've put TF3d, over clocked it.

the stock R3XXX update was a huge improvement and slideview+ panels are brilliant.

plus 8mp camera and full keyboard does not hurt either, and because of the smaller screen the battery last longer than the hd2 and it fits easier in my pocket,

but if your looking for a new phone i would go with the hd2 just because it has attracted more people therefore there is more support for it. but its just based on preferences
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
Sony Ericsson has just abandonned the Xperia X2 and X1 phones (or all Windows Mobile devices).

In fact, honestly SE never really cared about these devices. The first X1 was a HTC development, solid in Software terms at the end but horrible at Hardware level. The X2 was the exactly opposite, great Hardware, awful Software.

But there's no more interest in this devce anymore.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well, it's not really true.

Both phones got cruical updates, X2 is completely redesigned after last upgrade.

Officially SE didn't abandon anything.

However it is true they've made diastrous mistakes with X2

and pushed unfinished buggy firmwares, without any sign of improvements ATM.
[XPERIA X2 General] qureshafzal:
i am SE mobile user for the past 6 years and wanted to always stick with SE device... but my X2 experience has changed my perception.... i will no more use SE devices... at the moment looking to get rid of my X2 and switch to iphone...
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
Em... I like SE phone.but this X2 make me crazy. My only hope is SE declare the next update for X2 and without anymore bugs. Of course SE should really try it first before launch to x2 user.

Nb : I really want to find and install hand writing recognition. As long as I know, PDA or PocketPC should have this feature.
[XPERIA X2 General] schaotan:
I am not a fussy phone user.

If my phone could just alert me when messages are received consistently, if my phone would always unlock when i want it to, if the screen would not dim so quickly with no way to alter it, i would be pleased.

All of which the X2 is unable to fulfill. Colour me disgusted, SE.
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
I simply just can't understand why some people are still defending SE and the X2, saying that's only "few minor bugs".

The only reason that I still with this phone is that I cannot sell it, and the iPhone 4 hasn't arrived to my country yet.

Jolo.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
The mistake is bigger because this is substantially a great phone, which could be on the first line of last batch of WM devices.

I'm using it and must say love it in most part.

However it has glitches, somehow I'm able to squeeze most of it. In many ways it's great.

But the truth is they never felt on their back angry customers breath.

I think they're whether too proud and rude,

or too old fashioned in their approach.

And they reach a success with X10, so you know, no reason to panic :mad:
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
If you go to settings Settings>System>Backlight and Power Management>Advanced you can change the settings.

I did this and it worked for a while. But then, sometimes, after 5 seconds it goes dark.

But after I make the change it stops doing the 5 second thing. . . for a while.

Yes a bug, it sucks, but there are ways to DEAL with it.

As for the unlock, yes I see what you are talking about. I keep pressing and nothing, nothing then all of a sudden, it slides!!!

Annoying to say the least.

Sony should make the device work out of the box. Unfortunately this is not the case. We either deal with it and come up with our own solutions or sell the X2. Too bad no wants to buy the X2 but then again I don't blame them, it is a buggy machine.
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
However...X2 is still not meet most user requirement. Some tweak and fix are not enough. Hope SE really care to make update for us. I want to change X2 to X10, but so pity, no one will buy my X2. Because of the bugs. I choosed the wrong phone.
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
All of us picked up the wrong phone. You're not alone.

Sadly, SE will not release another update. This device is absolutely dead for this company, same as X1.

Even, Sony Ericsson will not have a Windows Phone 7 device at launch. They're fully with Android only now.

Cheers and good luck with this piece of crap.
[XPERIA X2 General] schaotan:
Erm. dude. I KNOW.

A solution isn't a solution when it doesn't work well. It is still a compromise. And dealing with it, is a massive compromise.

Its plain stupid that we users are compromising on our user experience on simple things. For a premium, top range phone no less.
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
And Symbian :)

I actually returned the phone to the seller on the basis that it does not offer functions as declared by the manufacturer, specifically "USB mass storage" mode. OK, it wasn't easy and I settled for somewhat less money that the phone costed me, but it was still more than the price of a used phone. But it all depends on local customs, laws and the will of seller.
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Are you saying the X2 does not even have MassStorageUSB? Not even after MR2 update??? Wow!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well actually not true.

Actually just after connecting this to PC and starting

WMDevice Center you can browse both sd card and internal memory.

In reverse X1 mass storage allows only sd card management.

To much *****ing is not sensible either.
[XPERIA X2 General] yummy-fun:
doministry, you are my hero
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
Well if you have to start WMDevice Center, than it does not work as a true USB Mass Storage Device!

UMSD means, that a phone works like a USB flash drive - just connect and use, no need to install any additional software. For example SE Satio works this way, so they know how this feature should work. (No "I need to copy some files from your computer, but I need to install this ugly application first, OK?" :p )

Too much SE sycophancy is not sensible at all.
